-How bad are the Rams? The 49ers play their worst game of the season and still 35-0.

-Mike Singletary said Patrick Willis is just scratching surface despite eight tackles, two-and-a-half sacks, a pass defensed, and another tackle for a loss. Aubrayo Franklin, who played with Ray Lewis, said both linebackers are “game changers.” He also said that Lewis would call out the play before it was run, which Willis doesn’t do…yet. Willis probably watches more film than anybody and will probably get to that level. That’s what Singletary means when he says he could be scary.

Shaun Hill is 8-0 at Candlestick.

-Quarterback Shaun Hill addressed the team at halftime, but he wouldn’t reveal what he said, only to say he just reifornced what Singletary had said all year. Singletary told the team that they needed to dictate the terms in their own stadium and not have the other team take the lead.

-The 49ers typically call two plays in the huddle and then pick run or pass. In this game, they went pass on the majority of plays because of defenses the Rams were showing.

-Hill wore the pink shoes for breast cancer awareness day. He said he has tunnel vision before games, but he couldn’t help but notice some breast cancer survivors on the sideline before the game. He went over to shake hands with them and said he was touched by the enounter. He wore pink and white cleats to mark the occasion. One pair will be shipped to his home town where Hill plans to start his own foundation and another pair will be given to a local charity.

-This 49ers defense is playing very fast. Players credit that gaining experience and playing the same scheme week in and week out. “Teams have to adjust to us,” Franklin said. “Last year, we adjusted to them.”

-Manny Lawson was surprised to see Ray McDonald grab the loose ball and score in the fourth quarter. McDonald was on the other side of the formation and came all the way across to get the ball. Not bad for a guy still recovering from ACL surgery.

-Josh Morgan said he was getting “greedy” on the long pass he dropped that would have gone for a touchdown. He said the wind took the ball out of its spiral at the end of the pass. Morgan said he should have gone to the ground with the ball. Hill saw Morgan on the sidelines and went up and said he was going to go right back to him. He did. They hooked up for a 24-yard TD pass in the fourth quarter.

-Fitting that Scott McKillop recovered the Rams botched punt for a score. He knows someone who’s struggling with breast cancer.

-Singletary continues to retain his belief in the offensive line. While he admitted they didn’t play that well, he continued to say that will be one of the best lines in the league. “They are going to have to respond,” Singletary said. “But I’m excited about every one of them.”</p

>-Trainers were scrutinizing the ankle of David Baas very closely in the locker room.

-Jason Hill, Shaun Hill and Takeo Spikes all wore the pink shoes. Justin Smith was going to wear them, but they didn’t fit.

-Singletary said the game gets a “little big” for Glenn Coffee at times. Coffee rushed 24 times for 74 yards and also had four receptions. Although he was a target on seven passes and did drop a screen pass that could have gone for big yardage.

-Singletary said Allen Rossum was a “healthy scratch.”

-The 49er have allowed fewer points through their first four games than the 2000 Ravens.

-The last time the 49ers were 3-1 was 2002, the last time they went to the playoffs. That was three head coaches ago.
